Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-2881:
--------------------------------------

UTF-8Y isn't supported by Eclipse wtp.
Depending on your validation preferences, you can see validation errors in wtp xml editor as well as in JBoss xml editor.
A quick fix is to move to the Source tab and remove the first three chars () - as shown in the attached screenshot.
That will convert your file to UTF-8.

> If, for example, components.xml is edited with another XML that saves it with encoding UTF-8Y then the visual editor produces an error (I like that) but it does not help to fix it (It took me a lot of hours to find out what was going on). It should offer to remove the UTF-8Y BOM.
